I use an Apple Mac computer. I have to reinstall the .dmg install app every time I want to use Muse Score!. Has anyone experienced this and know what the solution is so it remains installed on my computer? I've installed programs before and not had this problem!

You say you "have to" reinstall every time - why? Do you get some sort of error message when you try to run MuseScore without reinstalling and this error message leads you to believe reinstalling is the answer? Or maybe you're just having trouble finding the program icon? Or something else?

Thank you for your questions! I apologize for not replying sooner. I keep the installation app on my desktop: MuseScore-3.0.4.dmg. When I need to use MuseScore, first I search for the application on my computer. Nowhere to be found. Then, I select the .dmg file, it goes through the install process, and then the program opens. I can work in it until I quit out of it, and then next time have to go through the same process again. I'm keeping the .dmg file so that I won't have to download it again! It's the oddest thing.

Get MuseScore 3.0.5.
Sure you followed the steps from https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/install-macos?

Thank you! That was the problem! I was not following the diagram instructions. It works now as an application, and I just installed the update. Lesson learned. :-)
I have a similar issue. I have OS 10.14.4 installed. I cannot install Muse Score 3. When I try I get a short cut, in the applications, to the downloaded dmg file (in downloads), which if I delete the shortcut no longer works so I have to re-download and start again. This happened when I upgraded to Muse Score 3.

That's exactly what I am dealing with, too. I keep the installation app on my desktop: MuseScore-3.0.4.dmg. When I need to use MuseScore, first I search for the application on my computer.

I just replied to Roy Hutchinson. Hoping there is a solution to this.

I know very little about macOS, but I wonder if somehow it doesn't like having an installer and application both on the desktop? What happens if you move the installer elsewhere and then run it?

Thanks, it downloads to a download folder and normally I install it from there. That produces the same results I am getting on the desktop.

Roy, be sure to follow the installation diagram instructions. I was not following it. Need to drag the Muse icon to the applications folder, then the entire app. installs. It's now an application in my applications folder.
